OK, we are having a serious flea problem and as many of you dog owners probably can relate, it’s EXTREMELY frustrating! We’ve had Princess since November and she’s been on Frontline Plus since we’ve had her with no problems. Well last month I noticed her itching and thought maybe she had fleas. I took her to the vet and they said it was allergies which I didn’t quite buy and sure enough when I got home later I noticed a few fleas on her.
We gave her a capstar and vacuumed with powder and washed all bedding, sheets, etc and then soon it was time for her next dose of Frontline and it seemed to be okay after that.
Well starting a few days ago she started itching again bad and now like overnight fleas are everywhere. I realize these are the eggs that hatched and it’s starting a whole new cycle.
Obviously Frontline isn’t working for her. And now we can’t give her anything new for almost a month since we just gave her frontline 2 days ago. We can do capstars but wont we have to do them like everyday to do any good, and the eggs will still be there??
Now this may be a dumb question, but if she was on something that worked similiar like advantage or even comfortis, wouldn’t she be like her own flea killer.. like obviously we would vacuum, probably flea bomb, etc., but if there are fleas left, wouldn’t eventually she kill them all because if they jumped on her the meds would kill it?
Also, I read about treating your yard, how can you possible treat everywhere your dog goes? And isn’t that the whole purpose of flea medication is that they can go places where there are fleas potentially (we take her to the dog park in our apartment complex) and they’ll be protected?
Sorry, I know this is like a bunch of questions in one, but any input you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!! As you can tell, I’m very overwhelmed and frustrated!

I have always used frontline to controll flea allergies on my Walker Hound Dog, It is time for me to purchase another 3 months supply,
I have the option to buy Frontline or Advantage, can anyone help me with the pros and cons of both? The cost of either one is very high
in my opinion so I would like to buy the most effective one for the money. Thank you for any advice.

I have looked everywhere for small dog frontline and all the vets in town were out. My father in law did me a “favor” and found some and came over to our house while we were gone and gave it to her. The package said for dogs 89-132 lbs!! She is a very frail 10 year old chihuahua who also has allergies to fleas. I’m worried what will happen to her now. What should we do?
